Step one – find what’s on your ballot: Check the sample ballot you received from the Registrar of Voters to determine which races will be on your ballot, or click here to find who’s on your ballot. This is a primary election, so the only races you can vote on are primary contests in the party with which you are registered, and non-partisan races. If you are registered as “Decline to State,” three parties – American Independent, Democratic and Republican – allow you to vote in their primaries, but you have to pick just one.

Step two – select the races on your ballot from the list below: For each contested race, there is a voter guide that includes biographical information, a sampling of candidates’ positions, campaign finance information and endorsements. Click on the appropriate listings below. All information may be printed out by clicking on the words “Print article” over the headline for each race.

Problems with the voter guide? Much of the information is provided by candidates. Please report any errors to State Editor Holly A. Heyser by clicking here.

Problems with your ballot? If there is a problem with your sample ballot or your registration, contact the Orange County Registrar of Voters at (714) 567-7600.
